Title: Ajax v Feyenoord
Location: Amsterdam Arena
Description: The Dutch Cup final now played over two matches!
Start Time: 18:00
Date: 2010-04-25
Feyenoord v Ajax, the dream finale to the Dutch FA Cup but…what about the safety issues?
Issues such as security, transport, ticketing and everything else involved in preventing these rival supporters from killing each other on match day took weeks to evaluate. The logistical nightmares confronting organizers became so great it was decided to play the final over 2 matches in stead of the tradational one game and ban away supporters.
The revamped final format now sees the first match played in Amsterdam on Sunday 25 April, minus away supporters, with the same conditions applying for the return leg in Rotterdam on May 6. Thus, both games will be contested in 52,000 seat stadiums only half filled.
Hmmm, not sure about this? A major final played in a half filled stadium not once but twice…there must be a better solution.
